Full Moon at 17 degrees Scorpio
7 May 2020 4:45am
This FLOWER Full Moon will appear full tonight
so get out and get your howl on!
I see hearts everywhere
This Spring, along with all the unexpected and unwelcome drama, we had a late freeze just as the roses were leafing out the early fruit trees, like the gorgeous crabapples!, were blossoming. As Nature knows how to do…this will be a time of leafing and tree growth but for many of the trees in Colorado there will be no fruit this year, a rest year. Just like for us.
A quiet time of introspection and communing with the very essence of ourselves. I also am noticing that many flowers are blooming at the same time as one another, whereas some would have bloomed last month and others usually would bloom next month. And I am enjoying them all, especially at this FULL MOON, the Flower Full Moon 2020.
Full Moons remind you to prune away the old to make room for the new!
Flowers on roses only form on the new growth and so I had to hack back the frozen and damaged branches to make way for the new growth and flowers to come later this month. I can’t help but see the parallel to our own experience this Spring – hacking waaaay back all the things we thought we would be doing and returning to a refined, cut back version of ourselves, making way for new growth.
Full Moons are always times of release and absolutely no time like this potent Scorpio Full Moon to release all emotions that have been stored, built up, reservoired, saved for a rainy day, and generally repressed – time for a grand release in a way that hurts neither yourself nor any other beings in your range, but finding ways to release your emotions so you are left free to grow new leaves, new branches, for your own blossoming to come forth.
I find the absolute best way to release emotions is to move them through my body. Working out, walking, running, dancing, singing followed by a grand soak in an epsom salt bath and then…to bed!
This is what works for me.
What works for you?
Whatever it is – do it!
Prune your branches so as we emerge gently back into the world we do so with appreciation, with calmness, with wonder, and with great LOVE for all fellow creatures who inhabit this beautiful planet with us. And how lucky we are to live with other creatures – how splendidly divine is this place, our home. full of wonder and LIFE bursting forth at every turn.
What’s happening astrologically at this Full Moon?
Sun at 17 degrees Taurus radiating its light onto the MOON at 17 degrees Scorpio.
Uranus is within a ten degree orb of the Sun at 10 degrees Taurus so the volatile, unexpected, and ultimately liberating energy of Uranus is still working its transformational energy on the planet. Surprising events still unfolding. For you personally if these degrees of the fixed planets are specifically impacting your birth chart.
Chiron and Black Lilith are still conjunct at 7 and 11 degrees Aries so take the risk to really get in there and look at your wounds – those that have traveled karmically with you from times past (including past lives) and those that have reared their ugly heads this lifetime! Let the shadow over these wounds, the ones that really cripple you, be lifted and the light of LOVE heal their darkness. Now is the time.
Mercury is conjunct the Sun this Full Moon. As Venus is the planetary ruler of the Sun in Taurus, let the Venusian LOVE wash over and direct your words. Speak only words of LOVE. Let all other words be channeled elsewhere. Direct all negativity into the EARTH for transmuting back into LOVE. Walk on the Earth. Plant some herbs. Stick your head into a flower. Inhale deeply and be grateful for your BREATH.
Venus is at 21 degrees Gemini, poised to move retrograde on May 13. Use your words with tenderness and LOVE. Direct your thoughts to LOVE. As fears arise, redirect thoughts to LOVE. It’s a practice. And well worth doing.You will have PLENTY of time to practice this as Venus will be transiting Mercury-ruled Gemini unitl early August.
Mars is at 26 degrees Aquarius busy energizing genius solutions to seemingly unfathomable problems.
Jupiter at 27 degrees Capricorn is still in tight conjunction with Pluto moving retrograde at 24 degrees Capricorn. Jupiter is poised to join Pluto in retrograde motion on May 14. We are in the wave of massive societal shift. Remember: you are riding the wave and you ARE the wave.
Saturn at 1 degree Aquarius is poised to move retrograde on May 11. New innovative ideas are being birthed to address global situation. Notice your own breakthrough ideas, the ones that affect you personally and may make way bigger impact than you have considered. Be open to your own GENIUS!
Neptune floating along at 20 degrees Pisces. Build your immune system. I use CBD for this. I am happy to talk with you about CBD anytime! When your cannabinoid system is activated, your immune system revs up. And a revved-up immune system is the most important tool we have in our coping tool boxes these days!
Special note: By May 15 Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto will all be moving retrograde. Slowing down and focusing on what is most important will become obvious.
The question is not: WHY?
The questions is:
How do I best navigate this present situation
to be most joyously with what is?
